BEAN WAS A BLIND"
Surprising Developments in the Life
and Death of Texas Millionaire.

Surprising Developments in the Life
and Death of q Texas Millionaire.
DoDD CITY, TEX, Sept. 22.-It develops
that Thomas Bean, the dead millionaire of
Bonham, was not named Bean at all, but
that his name was Saunders, and that when
he died his negro servants stole the will to
get away with lot of money. Letters
from Mississippi, also from prominent citi
zens of Gainesville and Bonham. confirm
the report that his name was Saunders, and
that the name of Bean was assumed to
escape prosecution for murder committed
in Mississippi many years ago. A man,
who was supposed to be his father, who
was buried some time ago under the name
of Bean was not his father at ALL but
man who was buried as a ''blnd" to con-
ceal Beams true name The man Saunders,
who claimed to be Beams brother, will be
in Bonham tomorrow to establish his claim.
His daughter, who is the wife of a farmer
in Lamar county, Texas, has been in Bon
ham and satisfied those with whom she COM
municated that her claim was a just one. A
prominent citizen of Bonham, who requests
his name withheld at present, says Col. Bean
years ago, told him the same story, that
Saunders reports now, and further cor
roboration of it is from prominent phys
ician of Gainesville A life long.friend of
Col. Bean, the physician writes, gives the
same facts here given to the citizens of Bon
ham. Other citizens of Bonham say they
remember Saunders and that he and
Col. Bean were frequently together in Bon
ham, San Antonio and other places. 1t was
known that Bean had about $4,000 in
money, and it is supposed that the negro
servants got this wealth and took the will
too, and il is rumored now that a negro of
Beams says he knows where the will is and
will produce it when Saunders comes; that
the main facts about Bean and Saunders are
recorded in the will. Bean owned about
%, 900 acres Of land, worth millions of dol
lars A relative named Thaddeus Bean,
from Washington, d. c., said to be cousin

THE sUPREMR COURT.

CHoUrEAu, l. T., January 4, 1857.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN: "a Sub
scriber" in the CHIEFTAIN of Dec.
Both, is anxious to know Of some
of the proceedings of the supreme
court. For his information we will
try to furnish for publication a &
few additional proceedings of said
court. A case was instituted in
the circuit court, Alonzo Manly, vs..
Vina Scales, and appealed by
plaintiff to the supreme court as
the last place to secure justice in a
suit for an improvement for which
he held an unquestioned title.
After the case was argued at some
length by plaintiff and defendant,
defendant introduced a record OF
the supreme court made ten or
fifteen years ago, declaring Man
ly not to be a citizen. Now had
there been no evidence introduced
in the circuit court in relation to
Manly's citizenship it would have
been all right. But the court
with the stupidity common to all
asses in the consideration of evil
dence and testimony could see and
consider nothing but the record
introduced by defendant, and did
not consider or even think of the
other testimony in the case. 1t
was proven in the circuit court to
the satisfaction of any fair minded
judge on earth that Manly was a
citizen. 1t was proven that he
was in the Cherokee Nation in
1865, '66, '67, '6S. The court after
having tho record under considera-
tion a whole night, with sleepy
eyes and bewildered brain, gave
as their decision that Manly was
not a citizen because the supreme
court declared him to be so fifteen
years ago, therefore the Cherokee
nation with the dignity of a saint
must take from Manly what was
his own property and give to one
who had not the shadow of a title.
If Subscriber" or even that most
learned and august body itself, the
supreme court, wants any more Of
the proceedings of said court we
can furnish them, and plenty "oy

answer to ssmplaint2 Some
visable, tangoble person, who is
principal chief in fact or who is
legally acting as such, must ans
wer, and as in duty bound, must
move in the nations defense.
The impression is conveyed that
the assistant chief cannot be cited
in suit for damages against the
nation in the absence Of the princi.
pal, because the law specifies the
principal chief as the person to
represent the nation. No one act
ing as such, let the constitution
and the laws provide as they may,
can step into the moccasins of the
principal and exercise his duties,
or be held to answer. on part of the
nation, for damages done a citizen.
A myth, theory, principle, an
idea, name, vacuum, a ghost, q
sound, is enough for one supreme
court to be guided by, when
citizen has been deprived of his
property by unlawful seizure and
confscation.
II is said the case was dismissed
because the process was not served
on the defendant.
The defendant, as the law pro-
vides, is the principal chief, and
no one, let the principal chief be
dead, absent or disqualified, can
answer for the nation in such
cases. Even the principal himself
is not necessary, whether present,
absent or dead, to legal process in
a suit of the kind. The mere
name is enough, although it is to
an agent necessary to carry out tn
law, about what a dinner horn is to
4 dinner without the dinner.

REPRESENTATIVE SpRIyerR saw

REPRESENTATIVE SPRINGER says
he intends to secure, if possible the
passage by the present congress OF
his bill to provide an enabling act
for the admission into the union of
Dakota, Montana, Washington
Territory and New Mexico. He
says it will probably not be posi-
be TO get the committee on
territories to report upon the bill,
but that he will try to have it
substituted by the house for some
other territorial admission bill
when the latter comes up for
consideration. He thinks the idea
Of admitting all at once will
prevent opposition on party
grounds, as they would be equally
divided, particularly as the new
states would have no voice in the
presidential election of 1888.

THAT SUPREME COURT DE-
CISION.

Like that noted patient whose
disease got worse as he received
greater medical attention, is the
action Of the supreme court in the
case of Lindsey against the nation,
on account of the explanations
published ifflast weeks CHIEFTAIN
Why the court decided as they did.
A reason assigned in defense of
the court is that "the process was
not served on the defendant. The
law" as assured, empowering
citizens TO sue the Cherokee ma
tion provides, that the suit shall be
instituted against the principal
chief. The process" as further
set forth, sin this case was against
d. w. Bushyhead, principal chief,
but was not served upon him, but
upon Mr.. Bunch, assistant and
acting principal chief" The guam
tity of light the above gives in
justification of the courts action
only serves to show more plainly
that Mr.. Lindsey, as a citizen, has
not received that protection the
laws and constitution guarantee
him. A recourse at law is virtually
denied him just because the suit
was not INSTITUTED against the
principal chief, and that the pro-
cess was against d. w. Bushyhead,
principal chief, but was served
upon Mr.. Bunch, assistant and
acting principal chief" The ex-
cuse amounts about to this: The
service Of a process must be against
the principal chief without any
mention OF him who is principal
chief-that the process is illegal if
any name is given. II would take
a score Of Philadelphia lawyers to
explain how service can be per-
formed upon and acknowledged by
a thing in the abstract, or upon a
mere idea that must be represented
BY some substantial intelligence in
order that somebody should be
amenable, as representative of
an artificial parsonage. 1t appears
that the service of such a process,
in cases like Mr.. Lindsey's must
simply say: "Seryed against the
principal chief on such date,
without giving the name Of any
one who is principal chief or who
IL acting as such, The fact that a
certain one is principal chief or
that ono is acting in his place as
such, aud legally performing all
the functions Of such Office, cuts

The bird dropped down like a

great fury. The man caught up a

defended himself in an unequal

the savage bird turned upon him,
caught him by the leg, threw him
down, tore his trousers, and sink
ing his talons in the fleshy part of
his leg, inflicted a serious wound.
The bird then mounted to the col

seemed determined to bear him
away bodily, but just at this crisis
other men came up, and by their
united efforts the bird Of liberty
was finally conquered and securely
pinioned. 1t was found that his

were over four inches long.
